CONCEPT

You are a team of astronauts on Mars trying to build a habitat together and survive the harsh environmental conditions by building modules of a habitat on Mars and exploring for life on the planet. MCLP will appeal to a broad demographic thanks to its easy-to-play-yet-hard-to-master design. It is accessible and familiar and has the feel of a party game, with light building and management mechanics for more strategic gamers. Players of different skill levels and abilities can play together easily, due to the task assignment phase and the cooperative nature of the game.

The mini-games are short, fun, and often funny. There is instant gratification to each mini game, but also a sense of progression as players get further in the mission with their team of astronauts. The game’s setting is mainstream and relevant: Mars and space exploration are already on people’s minds thanks to NASA's Perseverance mission and Mars habitat simulation in Houston, and the abundance of Mars voyages in fiction in all types of media. However, MCLP’s gameplay remains quite unique, yet brings together some of the most enjoyed gameplay elements across all game genres. There are very few games in the cooperative puzzle subgenre, leaving this market segment wide open. Its progenitor Spaceteam is widely loved, and people are hungry for more games of this type!

The game will initially be available on the major devices’ app stores. We will look at opportunities on other smart device platforms post-launch, including relevant OEM stores such as Samsung and Amazon, as well as Nintendo Switch where there is also a strong market fit.

Since MCLP is a living game, we will build long-term player engagement through social media platforms and via engaging TikTok, YouTube and Twitch content creators encouraging them to stream our game and play with their viewers. We are partnering with LiveOps powerhouse Fundamentally Games to bring our game to live!
